Are there two Sunshine Slabs? We tried the route to the right of the pretty and smooth slab. It had a lot more features and cracks - great for the kids.

I'm guessing the "official" Sunshine Slab is somewhere in here. Fishook is the arching dihedral on the left side of the pic.

A good multipitch intro for a two year old.
Great climb for the whole family, daughter 9, son 4.
Pulling the crux superfluous heel hook. Totally bumps this route up to 5.0b.
This is what I would call Sunshine Slab. It's long and smooth. Not much pro visible from the ground. The left-facing dihedral on the far right is an easy way up if you want pro.

Here's a zoomed out view of the far-right easy slab. To the left is a smooth slab with a left-facing dihedral. It's pretty easy to walk up to a place to make a TR anchor.
Bro - bustin' through the Turret headwall block (a couple of 5.8 moves)
The approximate line we took. It required no downclimbing or rappelling.
The route goes up the slabs on this south face.
